Beginning

THE END

Beginnings can be the hardest part. That's why I often start with dessert.

I'm trying to think about how beginnings relate to eating disorders. The only thing I can come up with is how difficult new beginnings can be. On the other hand, even with tremendous fear around change, a fresh start or even a change of direction can be exciting. The one exception to having loads of resistance when stepping in a different direction seems to be when falling in love or in becoming smitten. It's crazy how easy change can be when those attraction chemicals are pumping through the body. All of sudden most fear flies out the window and starting something new seems like a piece of cake. Well, for some of us it can be that way. Certain fears are rooted deep inside us, and little things like love and affection won't alter them.

Uggh.. I'm all for this challenge thingy, but I'm getting sloppy. Consider this like being pulled out of an interval session when form falls apart and fatigue sets in too deeply. Yup, no go today. Here's a video instead. Appropriately, it's called The End. Actually that's tomorrow's word, but whatever. Maybe tomorrow I'll post a video about beginnings. Be sure to watch to the end of the video.
